2019 Map of South Lyon

About this map

South Lyon sits at the nexus of three counties—Livingston, Oakland, and Washtenaw—serving as a focal point for a landscape characterized by its dense network of small glacial lakes and rural settlements. This survey shows the township’s transition from a rail-dependent agricultural area toward more suburban residential patterns. Historical interest is centered on the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, such as the Old Irish Cem near the Huron River and the Green Oak Cem located along 8 Mile Road. The topography is defined by significant water bodies including Whitmore Lake and the smaller Inchwagh Lake. Further south, the map documents the smaller hamlet of Worden and its associated Worden Cem, while the Hancock to Calumet Route provides a distinct modern trail through the established neighborhoods of South Lyon.
